Description

Imagine biting into a plump, juicy mushroom, its earthy flavor enhanced by the vibrant tastes of a classic Italian pizza. This is what awaits you with these delightful, topped mushrooms. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures: the tender, yielding flesh of the mushroom, the rich, savory topping, and the slight char from the grill, adding a whisper of smoky complexity.

These mushrooms are incredibly versatile, equally at home as a satisfying starter, a quick and flavorful snack, or a light and refreshing lunch when paired with a crisp side salad. Their simplicity is part of their charm; they come together quickly with minimal effort, making them a perfect choice for busy weeknights or impromptu gatherings. Picture presenting these at your next dinner party – a delightful and unexpected entrée that is sure to impress.

The aroma alone, a tantalizing mix of earthy mushrooms, savory herbs, and melted cheese, will whet your guests' appetites and set the stage for a memorable meal. But their appeal extends beyond formal occasions. Envision these grilled alongside other summer favorites at your next barbecue.

Their rich, savory profile provides a welcome counterpoint to the smoky sweetness of grilled meats and vegetables. They are also endlessly customizable, easily adaptable to your own preferences and dietary needs. Whether you prefer a classic combination of tomato, mozzarella, and basil, or are feeling more adventurous with the addition of olives, peppers, or artichoke hearts, the possibilities are truly endless.

The grilled preparation enhances the mushrooms’ natural sweetness, creating a caramelized exterior that contrasts beautifully with the juicy interior. Each mouthful is an explosion of flavor, a testament to the simple elegance of fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. They are more than just a dish; they are an experience, a celebration of taste and texture that will leave you craving more.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice the stems from 4 portobello mushrooms and place top side down.
    2.
    Slice the mozzarella into 4 even discs and arrange 1 slice on each mushroom.
    3.
    Slice the tomato into four even discs and arrange these on top of the mozzarella slices.
    4.
    Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of dried oregano over each mushroom and season well with salt and pepper.
    5.
    Preheat a broiler to high. Once hot, arrange the mushrooms on a tray and broil for 6-7 minutes until the tomatoes are soft, the cheese is beginning to melt and the mushrooms are tender.
    6.
    While the mushrooms are cooking, add the olive oil to a small bowl and mince the garlic. Stir the garlic into the oil.
    7.
    After 6 or 7 minutes, the mushrooms should be almost completely cooked. Slide the tray out from under the broiler and drizzle the garlic infused oil over the tops of each mushroom.
    8.
    Place back under the broiler for 40 seconds/1 minute one to finish cooking, being careful not to burn the garlic. Scatter with fresh basil to serve
